Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori

This week for Cybersmart and Maori language week we were learning how to pronounce Maori places. We used this video as a starter. It shows how it is not towl- po it is Toe-Paw.

I learnt that lots of people get maori places wrong. So much that someone made a video about it. Lots of people must think this video is a help.

I enjoyed learning about how to pronounce the maori words because it is maori language week and I felt like I was embracing my maori language.

I found it tricky to make one for Waipaoa. At first I did Why-Pow-Aa But it would sound weird. So I did Why-Pa-Ooh-Aa.

Next time I would do more than one maori places because than you will learn more. I would also use a background because I would make it catch peoples eyes.

Here is my slide:
